Fluval Plant 3.0 LED Planted Aquarium Lighting, 22 Watts, 15-24 Inches

This light is a great upgrade for my Fluval Flex 15 (it takes some modifications to the lid to get it to sit flush)planted tank. I've had it about a month, my plants are perking up. I like the setting options and the ease of use. I have not had any power outages, and that is unfortunate that the light settings do not "save" and need to be reset each time power is lost, but I still give this light a 5 star rating, it is a power house for such a small light.

My Plants are doing well. Like the app easy to use.

I was trying to keep costs down and since I mainly have low light plants I figured I could get away with some of the cheaper lighting solutions out there. However, they just weren't providing me with the kind of output I needed. Turns out I really want to be able to support medium light plants as well.Generally I'd say that I could stand to use just a bit more brightness, but I'm happy enough that I'll stick with this light.The feature I love the most, and the prompt for this review, is the pro timer settings. With 10 programmable times it allows me to simulate a day/night cycle. The best part is that the light gradually transitions from one time setting to the next. For instance, if pure white is set to 50% at 9am and 100% at noon it will gradually increase from the 50% to 100% over that entire time. I expected it to go from 50% immediately to 100% at noon. You can also run a preview during the setup so you can see the span of an entire day in about 20 seconds.I know that sounds complicated, so just do what I did and do a search online for Fluval Plant 3.0 pro settings. I found a YT video by someone named Bentley and basically used his settings as a baseline and made minor tweaks.If that's still too involved there are Auto settings as well. Who am I kidding. You're reading this because you're extra and what I just described sounds dope af. Buy it.

Works great. Need an up-to-date phone to support the latest Bluetooth connection technology.

The price is almost 4 times what you pay for the cheaper lights with a timer that work well but the features and richness of the app make it hard to say it's not worth it. Very sturdy construction and looks really good. I might get another to replace the light on my other tank but price makes it difficult to justify right now.

My previous light was connected to Philips Hue power socket. When it turned on or off, the shrimp and fish was visually startled.With this light, it’s gradually and the shrimp and fish is a whole lot more content. Bonus points for supporting low light, which allows the shy ones to come out and be seen.My tank is heavily planted and lots of hiding places. I’m able to look into those hiding spots when the light is at its daylight setting, but it’s still dark enough for shy or nocturnal inhabitants to find shelter.The spread of the light is also pretty awesome.

I thought the light feature I had before was good but it was trash compared to this one. I grew grass in my tank in like 2 weeks and my plants are flourishing.
